    It is an easy game but it has addicting gameplay. It reminds me a lot of the older side-scrolling Mario games but somehow this game is unique from some of the others. It is one of the best Nintendo DS games.

    A great 2D platform game, really fun, and revive the old games of the Super Mario series, the game has practically no story, as almost all the games of Mario, but the positive point, certainly goes to aa fun, and the soundtrack, which is spectacular.

    My personal favorite 2D Mario platformer, and the very first one I played. After 15 years without a classic 2D Mario game, New Super Mario Bros. marks the return of the king to the 2D platforming genre, with a new fresh look and the same excellent gameplay everbody came to love in the 8-bit and 16-bit era.

After 15 years without a classic 2D Mario game, New Super Mario Bros. marks the return of the king to the 2D platforming genre, with a new fresh look and the same excellent gameplay everbody came to love in the 8-bit and 16-bit era.

    Mario controls as great as he did back in the day. NSMB features 8 different worlds, each with a distinct theme. Nowadays everyone is sick of seeing the same 8 world-themes in 2D Mario games, but this is the game that introduced them, and I think it was a good idea. As for the levels, most of them are really fun and well designed. Each levels holds 3 optional Star Coins, which are the main collectables in this game. Most of them are pretty easy to get though. The whole game is a bit on the easy side, actually. This might bother some of the old-school Mario fans, and it might be the game's biggest flaw. The amount and variety of levels is satisfactory to me. The game is bit short, but I think the overall quality and replay value make up for that

    NSMB introuduced some really cool power-ups. The giant mushroom, the mini mushroom and the blue koopa shell are among my favorite Mario power-ups of all time. They're very fun to use. As for the bosses, all of them are OK, but once again, they are way too easy. The game has also a bunch of multiplayer modes, but I didn't play them very much, so I won't comment about them.

    Visually, the game is colorful and has a good level of polish. It mixes 2D backgrounds with 3D models, and the result looks just fine. The melodies are as catchy and happy as ever. Overall, this is a very lighthearted and happy game, one that will put a smile on your face for the time you are playing.

    Some people criticize this game for being too simplistic and not really innovate in any area, like Super Mario World did in 1990. But the truth is that NSMB is pure 2D Mario greatness, it's a return to the more traditional style of the NES Mario titles, which is just perfect as it is. So whether you are a fan of the series, or platformers in general, you need to give this game a try. I would even say it is the best of the new generation 2D Mario games, despite being the worst technology-wise.

    So, this is what it looks like when Super Mario Bros is remade into a Nintendo DS game. I do find it better than Animal Crossing: Wild World, but not very much.

It's an outstanding Nintendo DS game, and hopefully something as good as this will come for the Nintendo 3DS in the future (I'm talking about 2011 onward).… Expand

The visual charm/aesthetic are unique compared to smb 1 2 and 3.

    Every day before I got SM64DS I would play it every weekend and try my hardest to get through every level, but is it as good as I remember it?

    Pros: + Gameplay: It's basic SMB gameplay modernized, and it's fun. + Level Design: While the worlds did feel long, the levels were fun and had some variety within them. + Collectables: Star Coins were pretty great and had actual uses, unlike    Every day before I got SM64DS I would play it every weekend and try my hardest to get through every level, but is it as good as I remember it?

    + Difficulty: While it's far on the easy side, it still offers a lot of challenge in the game (especially in the hidden challenge mode).

    Cons:
    - Enemy Variety: It's just Goombas, Koopas, Bullet Bills, Dry Bones, and Wigglers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is very easy especially the Bowser grand fights which is not a good quality for my taste. But the graphics are lively, colorful and imaginative. Some of the graphics though looked raw and quite old but is still accepted because overall, the graphics design is still great.

    The highlights of this game is the top-notched background music and the beautifully laid miniboard platform games (such as World1-1, World2-2, World3-5). Those platform games are the most enjoyable within the game. I like here the realism of some aspects of the game like the CANNON PLATFORM, which when you entered the platform, you will see what kind of world you will be "thrown" or "flown" by the cannon blaster in the game.

    I finished this game more than 3 times if I can recall my childhood and early teenage years. This has left a satisfying impact to my wonderful childhood.

    Again, this is a wonderful and a great remake to the classic Super Mario bros game. I am proud that the company has created this game.

    Overall, enjoyable, catchy, and still classic!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In short, New Super Mario Bros. is an excellent return to form for the 2D Mario series! First, gameplay, controls are very smooth, they are perfectly responsive and you probably won't be experiencing any trouble with controlling Mario, the story is pretty basic, but personally, I don't think it's much of an issue, because I don't expect my Super Mario Bros. games to have a final fantasy level story. Peach gets captured again, go rescue her, it works for this game, especially due to this game being not much more than a return to form, the level design is phenomenal, and you'll get a lot of fun out of the main campaign, I think the new power ups are great too! Sure, the mega mushroom isn't much more than a controllable cutscene, which makes it only fine, but everything else is amazing, the mini mushroom has great utility, being able to use enemies as platforms, running on water, and accessing smaller areas. Finally, the loops shell is a nice powerup as well, it can be a bit irritating in some cases, but just the idea of becoming a koopa troopa is fun to me. Now, if everything in the main campaign doesn't do it for you, even the side content is awesome! Now, the fact that some minigames are reused from 64 DS is a tad disappointing, however, there are some new games thrown in as well, which are all addicting and super fun time wasters. So, in all, New Super Mario Bros. is an excellent return to form for the 2D mario series as a whole, with a fun main campaign, great controls, fun new powerups and addicting side content! This is a title I strongly reccomend!… Expand

Mini Mushroom is just annoying. You cannot know where you have to use it. And it's a rare power up, so if you want it, you just have to repeat the level 1-4, where you surely get it.
    The shell is... ok, I guess, but let's just talk about it as a bonus power up, that is needed like 4 times in the game... other than this, the game is perfect. Multiplayer is fun, too.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is great. It came out during the start of my adolescence. I remember being so excited for the game and telling my neighbor about it and I forgot to say what the commercial was about but he said yeah when I asked him if he saw the AD and he was just as excited as me about the game. When I got the game, I ended up beating it in a month with my brother's help. I loved the graphics to the game. The controls felt very smooth too. It was a big twist when dry bones bowser was a boss. Speaking of bosses, I love how the bosses are all original unlike the other new super mario bros games. The music is varied too which is cool. The game may be a bit easy for my taste but it does have its challenge. Also the level design is cool like you got shooting pipes, new enemies that surprise you, and tiny areas. I think the biggest issue with the game was that you rarley use the new power ups but other than that the single player is good. Multiplayer is good too but I don't like the pipe stage because you can camp to avoid your big opponent by going up and down that one pipe.… Expand

The last one could barely play in color. But this one, is a gem. It has the same story it’s always had, which wasn’t so bad back then, but it’s not good now.

The mega mushroom is an utter blast, the mini mushroom is the worst power-up ever created, and the blue shell is the best power-up ever created. Water levels are still bad though, and mansions aren’t much better. That’s just how it is. Each level tries to do something new, and usually succeeds at doing that. The bosses can be hard, but are very creative. Mummipokey is fun to say, but also difficult and fun. There are 2 other game modes: Mario vs. Luigi and mini games. Mario and Luigi pits Mario and Luigi (by the way, you can play as Luigi normally by holding L and R and pressing A when selecting a file) and they have to get stars. It’s a lot of fun when you can play it, but by now you can’t. Mini games use the touchscreen and are “oodles of fun”. They’re even funnier with friends. I learned to play Poker from it.

    This game is utter gold and probably my favorite DS game. It’s so sad to see New Super Mario Bros as the platforming series which will never change, but this was a good beginning for it.    … Expand

    It's a great game. Good controls, minigames, and a fun experience. The only problems are many of the levels are rehashes of previous levels, no Wifi {which would've been great in 2 player}, and it's short. You can probably beat it in a few hours, while getting every stage and secret takes about 7-10 hours.

    Although reaching shy of Super Mario World's plenitude in 1990, New Super Mario Bros is a worthy and uncomplicated renewal to side scrolling Mario. Acrobatics and creativity are rewarded, though challenges late in the game tend to be cryptic or trial-based in nature.

    I like the idea of this game. A new game in the Mario franchise that takes the classic side scrolling action from classic Mario games like the Super Mario Bros. trilogy and Super Mario World and modernizes it.

I also like the online, it can be fun playing mini-games and Mario Vs. Luigi with my sister. The only problem I have with this game is that it may not be quite as challenging or creative as the older Mario games, but it's still good fun. It may also not have all the bells and whistles that the later games are, but at least this game didn't feel like it was copying too much of past games, unlike later NSMB games. Overall New Super Mario Bros. is great on the Nintendo DS and I would also recommend it.… Expand

    This game was refreshing back when it first came out. It was the first 2D mario game in years. The visuals and music were fun. The gameplay was solid and there was a lot to do. Also, the powerups and boss battles were original and creative. This was the only New Super Mario bros game that was, ya know, actually "new".

    This game is really easy to be honest but like it's really fun to speed run. A great return towards 2d platforming for Mario and the start to a very successful yet somewhat repetitive series.

The bosses were fine but THE KOOPALINGS GOT THROWN OUT SINCE SUPER MARIO WOURLD I BELIEVE! But still okay. The controls are great I got SO used to it. I think this is a game worth getting. One of my least favourite Mario so far...

    New Super Mario Bros. is a great platform game. The problem is that you lose a lot of lives in one stage because the stage is hard and it's very hard to reach nearly 100 million score points. This makes the game so frustrating and possible to get a Game Over.

The core gameplay is great and brings in some moves from 3D Mario games like the ground pound and triple jump, which worked super well here! The levels are fun to play through, with the traditional grass, desert, water, forest, snow, rock, sky and volcano themes for each world. The overworlds could have been a bit better and not as linear as they are. The main bosses are all very creative and interesting, including Mummy Pokey, Lakithunder, Mega Goomba, Petey Piranha and a few more. There were some cool ideas for new powerups. We got the Mega Mushroom which lets you smash anything in your path and it’s super satisfying, the blue Koopa shell which is fun to slide around in, and the mini mushroom which makes you tiny and is only good for certain levels. The graphics are a bit too pixelated and outdated, but it’s still an upgrade from previous 2D Mario platformers. The soundtrack is pretty good but I wish there were more world specific themes because the default athletic theme gets repetitive as you progress. In Mario vs Luigi, you connect to someone else’s DS and battle it out to collect the most stars. This mode is kinda dated now but it was fun at the time the DS was still alive! The minigame mode returns from Super Mario 64 DS with mostly the same ones, but some new ones included. This is still the most unique out of the New Super Mario Bros games to this day. It’s a great game but of course, it sold so well that it caused the series to get stale afterwards.… Expand

    The best experience the New Super Mario series can offer. On top of unique levels with little empty space, there a bunch of side modes that give the game extra value. Star Coins are a well designed collectible, as are most of the secret exits; though the game does occasionally get pretty specific and obscure with a few of its secrets.

All Mario's usually start off easy and get much more difficult, but this one seems the exception and seems to be aimed at a much younger audience.

I was also unable to grasp some of the gameplay nuances without looking things up on google (like secret worlds, cannons etc.), so all in all it has considerable amount of old school in it. The game definitely looks and sounds great, but casual gamers and platform genre newcomers might struggle a bit in certain levels. It does not take too much time to beat the game, but getting all gold and unlocking all the stuff can easily double the time if you are not hardcore Mario gamer. There are also some mini-games and multiplayer support, but the former are passable at best while I was not able to test the latter.

    I had the unfortunate experience of going from the far superior Wii version to this one. New Super Mario Bros. is a great game in its own right. I just think it tries a bit too hard to be like the Mario games of old and less like a new identity. You'd think with "new" in the title, it'd be at least a bit new. Don't get me wrong, the levels are well designed. I just would like more originality.

    The bosses in the game is mainly where New Super Mario Bros. shines. All of them are incredibly unique and some of them are even challenging to battle. That's not something you hear every day when it comes to Mario games. NSMB shows that Mario bosses can still be unique and they aren't always going to be the seven Koopalings frantically running around.

    Nintendo games are never about the graphics but the visuals in this game are kind of a letdown. I personally found Super Mario 64 DS (released 2 years before this) and Bowser's Inside Story (released 3 years after this) to show off the original DS' graphics much better. There's also multiplayer in the game which is another area in which NSMB shines. It's incredibly addictive to run around as Mario and Luigi and do coin battles and other crazy things.

    Overall, New Super Mario Bros. is a decent start to one of the more recent Mario series. If you played any of the newer games in the series and you're thinking about getting this one, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're trying to complete your collection.    … Expand

    This is not the best Mario game ever made but it's still decent enough to have it in my collection, can get a bit bland at times. Not a binge play, but still nice to play every once an a while

    A 'reinvention' of the traditional Mario platformer on the DS. It has gameplay that is both addicting and easily approachable, whether you are a long time fan of Super Mario or not. However, it is weak compared to other titles in the Super Mario series, and in general, the levels feel shorter and less creative than others, though this could be due to the DS's limitations.

    Ey, no esta nada mal. Este videojuego de Mario si que envejeció bien a diferencia de otros, teniendo muy buenos controles y una gran cantidad de coleccionables a conseguir. Las batallas contra los jefes sin embargo son muy fáciles y se pueden ganar en menos de 15 segundos si sos muy hábil. Y... la historia normal es algo corta. Y por ultimo, la música ME ENCANTO.

    This game was another childhood staple of mine. I will admit I like it a little less than I once did tho.

    This game is a absolutely classic, and envelops well the magic of both 2D Mario and the Nintendo DS alike. This should be in every Nintendo DS, and its a great fun in your pocket. Sadly its a bit repetitive, easy and the final levels are poorly designed, but overall its a solid game.

    New Super Mario Bros is a fun game. It's nothing special, but it's fun. I'm not a HUGE fan of 2D Mario (Unless it has World in the title) and this one is no different. I think it's better than all the rest of the so called *New* Mario games (except for maybe Wii). I will say the bosses were all original and unique, which is something that the rest of the 2D Mario games have completelyNew Super Mario Bros is a fun game. It's nothing special, but it's fun.

    Prettified reboot of the classic games that doesn't quite have the edge and inventiveness of its SNES forebears, but is a pleasing little platformer in its own right.

    The gameplay isn't as riveting or unique or original as Super Mario World, and it feels truly lacking in some of original Mario Bros charm. But in the end, its still a good experience.

    Before New Super Mario Bros. entered my life, "Yoshi's Island" was, to me, the greatest platformer ever created. That title may now have to go to New Super Mario Bros.

    The kind of game that makes hardcore Nintendo fans get on their knees and weep in sheer joy over the eighty new levels of new 2D Mario action...The visuals come in scorching hot, with gorgeous 3D bringing the old school into a new school setting. Sprinkle in some minigames and multiplayer modes, and you have a system seller.

    While it lasts, it’s some of the best platforming to date and features what I consider to be the best Nintendo DS graphics to date. While it’s a shame the new power-ups are frills and the length of the main game is ridiculously short, it’s hard not to recommend it.
